My thoughts.. A high pitched solid sound, a 10&6 will do the job (if they make them that size)
If you want it to resonate a touch and have some body, straight vlt no re rings.
A supersolid shell would sound like a wood block with snares and be a waste of money.
A metal snare would cut and have great bite. A 12" is more of an fx snare, you wouldn't get bang for you buck if you went SS edge, or regular edge. My 13x5 edge was a big disappointment, did nothing. I sold that thing.
